Memorial website in the memory of your loved one

 

This memorial website was created in the memory of our loved one, James Burnette who was born in Maryland on January 14, 1976 and passed away on June 18, 2008 at the age of 32. We will remember him forever.

I wanted to honor my brother's life and let those that didn't know him have the opportunity to get to know one of the most beautiful people God brought into my life.


My brother, Jeff, was thirty-two, the father of five beautiful children-James Jr., Hunter, Zackary, Jasmine, and Dillon. Jeff was the youngest of three children to our mother. Jeff suffered from Bipolar with Mania for most of his life and God had mercy and took him home. Although he is gone, he will be with us always and is missed more than he could have ever imagined.

This was written in memory of our grandfather, James McAlister.  I thought it was so beautiful and so meaningful to all who are grieving the loss of a loved one-especially when it is so unexpected.

Don't think of him as gone away--

his journey's just begun,

life holds so many facets---

the Earth is only one.

Just think of him as resting,

from the sorrows and the tears,

in a place of warmth and comfort

where there are no days and years.

Think how he must be wishing

that we could know, today,

how nothing but our sadness

can really pass away.

And think of him as living

in the hearts of those he touched...

for nothing loved is ever lost--

and he was loved so much.

His legacy
Children...  

Jeff's oldest boy Jeff Jr. has just been accepted to become the newest member of the National Junior Honor Society.  His mother was so excited that she could not wait for Jamie to open the envelope.  She opened it and shared with family and friends how proud both her and his Step-father are of Jamie's accomplishment.  I know that my brother is proud too.  He would get just as excited as Jessica(Mom)to let everybody know what Jamie had accomplished whether it be aceing a FCAT which Jamie has now done in succession or being invited to visit colleges at the ripe old age of eleven and twelve.  Jeff my brother and Jamie's father was very intelligent.  He did not accomplish the things that Jamie has accomplised academically but I know beyond doubt that he too was capable.  Jamie is a product of Jeff and part of the enormous legacy he left behind.  And as our entire family is Jeff is proud of his boy too.  Jeff is most likely bragging in Heaven although all of the Angels' have probably heard it already.....

Hunter the second in the line of five children is also showing signs of having a promising academic career.  He has already been on the honor roll twice and as we await the results of this first quarter I am sure he continues to strive to do well.  Of the five children Hunter was probably the closest to his daddy in the last years of Jeff's life.  Jeff would work with him on homework and praise him when he did well.  I am sure he continues to praise him even now.

Jeff wanted so much for all of his children and I know that he is watching over them now.  Sometimes when it rains I wonder if it is tears of joy from my brother's eyes letting us all know how proud he is of his babies.

Sending lots of kisses to Heaven!!!

Jeff Jr. aces the FCAT  

Jamie,

I am so proud of you son, I was always proud of you since the day you were born.  My first born, you could not have been more beautiful.  There was not a person that came into contact with you that did not say so.  I was so happy to welcome you into my life, I loved you more than I could have ever imagined-probably even before you were born.  I am watching from Heaven and I wanted to congratulate you on not only passing the Fcat-but for not missing a single question.  You aced it baby boy, and my only wish is that I could be there in person to tell you how proud of you I have always been.  To tell you how proud of you I am.  I know that you have been through alot in your short life-and God knows I havn't made things easy on you, but I want to see you live out all of your dreams.  Do your best baby, that is all I ever asked.  Be a kid, enjoy your life and continue to do well.  I know you looked/look up to me, but Jamie I want more for you-I always did.  I want you to have everything that I couldn't give you and more.  Ibba lubba youba!!

You da Man-keep up the good work Jr.-YOU MAKE ME SO PROUD!!!

Always your Daddy-Jeff
